The Drift bench is a masterclass in complex curves, angles and subtracted spaces. Informed by a piece of found driftwood Amanda Levete translated her organic, highly sensual, architectural language into a condensed form.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
The table should first be dry dusted with a clean,cotton cloth. If wet cleaning is required, the item should be cleaned without pressure using a soft, slightly damp sponge using deionised water (tap water contains salts that can leave a residue on the surface of the polyester) with a mild, non-coloured detergent, such as Ecover Washing Up liquid. If this method is used, the table should be dried thoroughly using a foam sponge in order to avoid temporary streaking and residue. Do not use cotton cloths or other high lint materials at this point. High-gloss: Same as above, however, it can be polished with a lint free cloth. Avoid contact with certain solvents, including white spirit, toluene based products and acetone (Beware of many household cleaning products and polishes as these may contain potentially damaging solvents).
